DAVIS NOMINATED.
Mr.. President and Senators: I have the
honor to present to your consideration gem
| tleman whose very name suppresses all faci
tionS; whose Sympathies are as broad as the
state, aud whose Judgment is as clear as the
sunlight and with an intellect as keen and
bright as flashing sabre; with his education
in the SeVereSt school of adversely; deyel-
oped and dignified in positionsscf honor land
trust; endeared to the masses by his rever
earnest advocacy of pebian rights; COM
handing the respect of the educated world by
his renowned culture and great OratOry. Who
then, better than he. could represent the
heart and intellect of our grand party or
give expressions to its modest inspirations
Who would be stronger endorsed than he
whose very name is q synonym for honest
and fearless opposition to corruption in every
form, and who would follow better what he
believed to be the path of duty with chival-
rous devotion that would not count personal
losses?
We have ignored the demands of our people
for the past few years. and have passed
through baptism of fire until the most
skeptical are convinced of the truth of the
old assertion THAT it is not within the con-
fines of gilded palaces, but around the fire.
sides of the masses that the destiny, not of
states, but nations, controlled" Our
people demand standard-bearer that will
not allow our colors to trail in the dust-one
that can take the helm so that when the sum
shine of quiet again breaks through the polit-
ical clouds. we will find the good old ship
that has so long been tossed upon the angry
waters of political contention safely anchored
in the harbor of success and high above her
deck on her very mast heads will be inscribed
t1e words, "Republicansm and Victory
They ask for representative in the councils
OF our nation who will, when corruption and
temptations roll their mighty waves against
the national CAPITOL stand as firm as the
Handicapped granite rock of our own proud
young state. Gentlemen, present for your
consideration the name of c. K, Davis, OF
Ramsey county.
Senator Buckman's effort was rewarded
with considerable applause. Senator &. S.
Ives, Of st. Peter, seconded the nominal
ton of Mr.. Davis. He said:
I take great pleasure in seconding the nom-
ination OF Mr.. Davis for the position of
United States senator. 1 will not attempt to
indulge in any flights of oratory; indeed, it is
hardly necessary. All that we have to do is
to point to the man, whose Self-evident quail
ffcations and eminent abilities are so well
known throughout the state that any state
ment of them in detail could not alter the
fact, and whose record stands so high.
He has not - aped from the realms of OBJ
security into pre-eminence in a single dawn;
he has reached pre-eminence, gentlemen and
has done it by his efforts, by strong
hard, earnest labor. coupled with an indomit-
able will. Sometimes it hasobeen stated, and
illusions have been very frequently made
by Repu blican admirers, to his genius
of intellect and oratory, as if these were
qualities that he had inherited, and had not
come from the man himself. l repeat he has
reached this great genius by hard work; that
is what has placed him before the peODIe OF
this state.
I am pleased to place such man before
you; he is not afraid to soil his hands with
the business of the people. IN placing in
this exalted position man so well qualified.
the interests of the state will be well guarded
at the national capitol
/ know that unfaYorable comments have
been made upon the position Mr.. Davis took
during the last campaign, and while do not
coincide with some of his views as quoted vet
admire and honor the man that, coming be-
fore the people at that time, stood up brayeIy
to the work and fearlessly stated what ne be-
heved to be the principles of the Republican
